4.5th blade [Action; FOURTH WALL EVENT]
[The first change Veronica noticed was in her hands, specifically the tips of her fingers. The needles; the ones that injected the paralyzing poison that also fought regenerative effects. They were back, sticking out of the tips of her scarred fingers just enough to be noticeable if you were looking right at them.
Everything was back. Her eyes were seeing in infrared again, her muscles were already feeling stronger. The urge to just... jump up and down with joy was not one Veronica felt before, but dammit all if she wasn't excited about this.
She had to get out.
Everything seemed brighter somehow, as she walked down paths and streets, feeling what little snow there currently was crunching underneath her boots. It wasn't that cold, she had her cloak on. She didn't care about it anyways, she was too happy about this.
She wanted to do so much. Breathe fire, jump off a building and land unharmed, fight with any foe and come out on top.
But, for now, she'd settle for slicing through the trees that dotted the random routes like they were butter with the multiple swords the poked out from under her cloak. She'd also even do a little training with her Pokemon. Sword fighting with her Honedge, some hand-to-hand combat with Greninja. They seemed just as happy to see Veronica in such high spirits.
There was also an urge, almost overwhelming, to fight someone. She missed doing that, and there was no way that she'd let this moment go to waste.]

[She adjusted her drawstrings sheepishly.] It's kind of like a video game here. But, you get used to it.
no subject
If it's not a bother to you, I'd like to stick close to you. I know you prefer to work alone but...well I think Fran would prefer it this way.
[Appealng to the one who clearly knows what she's doing.]
no subject
[She's not expecting the bow, obviously. It flusters her a little, in a way she's not entirely sure of. W2g Adorea.
It brings a smile to her lips, at least. She was so happy to see a familiar face that she didn't even mind.]
Sure! I would like that, actually. I-I haven't had anyone from home around in a while...
no subject
Thank you. I'm OK on my own at home...but I don't think I'd feel safe without you in a strange place so far from home.
[Veronica took care of problems and Adorea cleaned up the mess. That was how life was supposed to be wasn't it?]
no subject
T-that's fine. We'll figure something out, okay?
[Her eyes widen suddenly.]
You could stay with me and Juniper. I mean, if she says yes.
no subject
[it took her a minute to process meanwhile the tentacool has gone back to the water with a noisy splash]]
Who is Juniper?
no subject
[Weird. It's not every day that she got a friend. It's weird.]
She's letting me stay with her for a while.
no subject
I'm glad to hear you've been making friends.
Fran always hoped you would.
no subject
...A shame it always ended poorly.]
Yeah, me too. I knew I had to try, so I'm going to keep trying my hardest!
no subject
I think...you've always been very likable. You'd have lots of friends back home...but the world is....unforgiving.
[Indeed it seemed like every time Adorea had ever seen Veronica start to get ahead the world pulled the rug out from under her]
Have you had any...incidents?
[By which she meant violent murders that normally Adorea would have been tasked with cleaning up]
